Which two statements are correct regarding Layer 2 network switches? (Choose two.)

Layer 2 network switches are crucial components in local area networks (LANs), providing multiple

functions for data packet forwarding and network segmentation. One inherent characteristic of

switches is their susceptibility to traffic loops, especially in networks with redundant paths. Without

proper loop prevention protocols like Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), loops can cause broadcast storms

and network instability. Additionally, switches inherently flood broadcast traffic to all ports within the

broadcast domain, except the port on which the broadcast was received. This is because broadcast

frames are meant to be delivered to all devices within the VLAN, and the switch ensures this by

flooding these frames to all ports in the VLAN, except the source port.
